Our 2024 Waste Management and Minimisation Plan (WMMP) has been developed to protect our district from harm and to provide environmental, social, economic, and cultural benefits as it moves to supporting a circular economy.
In summary, the purpose of this plan is to:
- Present Taupō District Council’s goal of managing and minimising waste in the district.
- Set objectives and policies to achieve the goal.
- Provide information on how Council intends to fund the activities of the WMMP over the next six years.
Our WMMP Goal is to:
“To protect public health and safeguard the Taupō District environment by ensuring waste and diverted material is managed in a safe and sustainable manner that maintains natural and aesthetic values”
To achieve this goal, Council has set the following objectives:
- That waste is disposed of appropriately and public health is protected.
- Increase the total quantity of material diverted from Landfill.
- Increase the quantity of diverted material through reduction, reuse, recycling, and recovery.
